Tyler Baltierra Shares Update on Drama with Daughter Carly's Adoptive Parents

Tyler Baltierra, known for his role in Teen Mom, recently updated fans on the tumultuous relationship with his daughter Carly's adoptive parents. In a recent episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Tyler and his wife Catelynn met with their adoption counselor, Dawn, to address the challenges they faced with Carly's adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis. The couple expressed their frustration at what they perceived as unfair treatment from the Davises, leading Dawn to advise them to take a break from reaching out to Carly.

Following this advice, Tyler shared on his Instagram Stories that they had ceased sending gifts and updates to Carly. Instead, they created an email account for their daughter, where they write messages for her to read in the future at her discretion. Tyler emphasized their commitment to respecting Carly's wishes, even if it means she chooses not to have contact with them.

Moreover, Tyler disclosed that they had recently obtained their entire adoption file, which contained details that were more shocking than they had anticipated. Despite the challenges they faced, Tyler reiterated their dedication to advocating for adoptees and spreading awareness about adoption-related trauma and loss, particularly emphasizing the impact on the child involved.

Carly was adopted by Brandon and Teresa when she was a baby, as depicted on MTV's 16 and Pregnant. While the adoption initially included open communication between the Baltierras and the Davises, the frequency of visits has dwindled over the years, according to Catelynn and Tyler. The situation escalated when Brandon and Teresa allegedly cut off communication with the Baltierras after a dispute over Carly's 15th birthday.

Despite the challenges, Catelynn and Tyler have continued to share their experiences on social media, prompting discussions about the complexities of open adoption and the dynamics between birth parents and adoptive families. Catelynn acknowledged the difficulties they faced due to the lack of communication with Carly, expressing the emotional toll it has taken on both her and Tyler.

While some fans criticized the couple for airing their grievances publicly, Catelynn defended their actions, suggesting that being on the reality show has helped hold Carly's adoptive parents accountable for their commitments. She speculated that without the show's influence, the Davises might have severed contact earlier, highlighting the role of media exposure in maintaining transparency and accountability in open adoption agreements.
